Roof rack bolt size and thread pitch?

[Arya Ebrahimi]

Want to do what Tyler did w/ the allen set screws, but don't know what size and pitch to get. I searched briefly, but didn't find anything. I'm at work and don't have time to search extensively. Thanks

Ary, the "screw guy" at Home Depot was able to identify the thread/pitch of my roof rack screws on my 93 many years ago. If noone here has the info at the ready, you could stop by that wonderful place after work and pull a screw off the roof. Hey, they won't carry the allen head screw you want, so you won't have to stand in line

David, that's too easy. I have a size/thread identifier in my tool box. That's not the point!

I want to be 150% lazy and just have someone tell me!

thanks. (I was being lazy too and just waiting for it...)

That's really weird. I coulda sworn I already posted up that I found the size and pitch before I went to lunch. I had already found Nakman's thread, but thanks anyway Raven.

For future reference, the threads are 10-32 or 5mmx.8

 

[CreeperSleeper]

Okay, I'm confused... that means it's a 5mm, right?

 

[Arya Ebrahimi]

5mm x .8 thread pitch for a metric bolt

10-32 for an SAE bolt

Sorry dude, I was being a smartass. It's been one of those days for me today. I need #6 and I haven't even been working on my 80!

Are the bolts the same for the four rails in the middle too?

Yes, same major thread diameter and pitch.
